The A. S. Gage Ranch is a 190,000-acre (770 km2) cattle ranch located in Brewster and Presidio Counties in west Texas. Today’s ranch is only a part of what was a once much larger operation founded in 1883 by Alfred S. Gage. It is still in the family, being owned and operated by Alfred’s granddaughters Roxana Hayne and Joan Kelleher.[1] Joan is the wife of Herb Kelleher, founder of Southwest Airlines.
